GET YOUR OWN SIDEBAR WIDGET – INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
This sidebar widget can be used for any website or blog by anyone free of charge.
There are only two requirements for its use:
1. It links back to this page so that others may find how to use it.
2. It is not modified or sold for any commercial purpose
Here is the HTML code to place in your WordPress or website sidebar:
<a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/widget/"> <img title="Click to get your own widget" src="http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif" alt="Click to get your own widget" width="166" height="223" /></a>
Simply cut and paste the code into Notepad (or other text editor) to clear any formatting then paste into your website sidebar section as HTML.
Or you may also simply copy and paste the entire widget image from above. The image URL for the widget image is:
http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif
FOR MAC USERS:
If you want to add the image to Mac OS X Dashboard, open the link in Safari:
http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif
Select “Open in Dashboard” under the file menu.
Click on the image.
Click the “Add” button.
I make no guarantees on the timeliness of update or 24/7 availability of the widget. Typically it is updated once a month in the first week of the month.
ALSO AVAILABLE – the Our Climate iPhone App:

Ok – how about a Vista “Gadget” for MS desktop? Doable? I know the weather gadget obviously calls for data. My opinion of the widget is A++ for elegance and simplicity.
Thanks for “the steps I laid out earlier.” I missed them before, so let me quote, for others (like Mark, above, in case he didn’t see it):
BTW, although Dashboard is integrated with the Finder, it is a separate application (look in Applications). What I didn’t know was that you could add widgets to Dashboard directly from websites (via Safari), rather than just from Apple’s Dashboard page. That makes it much cooler. Thanks for the tip!
Maybe Anthony could add that instruction to the top of this thread for other Mac users like me, who may not have ever looked farther down the Safari File menu than ‘New Tab’.

A great widget Anthony! I have successfully installed it on my blog. I assume that if the temp anomaly drops to, say 0.41, the little arrow will point down?

Annual Sea temperatures around the British Isles?
I’ve been looking for this on the web and keep running into stuff with a AGW agenda and not giving the facts, just interpretations.
I’m told October is the warmest but cant find information to back this statement up.
Any ideas would be welcome”

@ur momisugly Simon Filiatrault (12:57:25) :
Yes , Wood for trees is a very good source. I think 1C = 175+/- 25 ppm CO2 , so roughly 0.01C/year = No Panic
Shouldn’t the CO2 begin at the same baseline as the temp anomaly?
As a non “science” guy this chart appears to support AGW… At any moment, I’d expect to see the temp to shoot up. Since weather isn’t climate – or so someone keeps telling me.
Since the temp number is an anomaly from a 30-year average, it would be logical that 1979 CO2 level would be at the 0 temp baseline in year 1979 since both temp and CO2 level would be starting from the same point in time.
Starting it below the baseline creates a visual hook of a connection.
Since I only have dial-up Internet access, a number of years ago – for my homepage I created an htm page on my PC including many links I use often and a nice background image. Gives me a very quick access to home page . [example path=]
Long story short:
I pasted the link to your new World Climate widget into my home page; works great and livens up the background image too.
At some time in the future wouldn’t it be better to have the widget link point to WUWT’s home page [where the widget also appears, of course]
Since no one else has access to my home page, would your condition #1 be violated if I pointed your widget to your home page? May I have that permission?
John Edmundson:
I would say your scaling of the CO2 curve is clearly too low and this one, with almost double the slope for CO2 fits better: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut3gl/from:1940/to:2009/plot/esrl-co2/from:1940/to:2009/scale:0.011/offset:-3.7
I don’t think the Met Office is saying that. That would correspond to a transient climate response of over 13 C per CO2 doubling. The actual best estimate for the transient climate response is somewhere around or just over 2 C per CO2 doubling (i.e., somewhat less than the best estimate of 3 C per CO2 doubling for the equilibrium climate sensitivity).
Thanks for providing that widget Anthony. I have now put it on my blog too. What would be the chances of getting the code for the AMSR-E Sea Ice widgetand the DMI Arctic temperature widget also? As I would love to put those in my side bar too.
Anthony, I have a Mac with Dashboard. How can I get this widget for my Dashboard? I’m a little confused as to how to download. It looks pretty cool, too.
REPLY: read comments above. Solution posted for OSX – A
The sunspot and flux current values are chalk and cheese with the historic record chart.
Wouldn’t it be better as two separate panels within the same widget, one showing current values and the other showing the historic time sequences?
Sea temperature and global sea ice are obvious additions.
I love it.
How about a picture of Al Gore beating a polar bear with a hockey stick?
Eleven sunspots today?
And what’s that number, ‘1028’, with the vertical line into the Sun mean?

This is close…

Yeah is there a sunspot? Soho image looks fairly uniform to me.
OK, really do like this ….
want to have it be my desktop ( centered ) in windows XP but XP is an “appliance” for me so is there any hope and if so, how to ???
Browser is Firefox … if that helps, can add the google desktop bar, if that helps …
BBC suggest we take a slant one way or another. ,
Hi Anthony – any way to get this into Google Gadgets? Would love to see this on our windows desktops.
Thanks!
The widget reads: sunspot number = 0, yet it is actually around 30. What is up with that?
REPLY: We are coding the automation still, note that it is in early Alpha. But push a manual fix in – Thanks for the heads up on the error -A
UPDATE: the coding is doing exactly what it is supposed to. The file http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt shows zero for SSN. -A
Perhaps make the sunspot reference number (on the orb itself) black or some other dark colour – not easily readible in white at widget size.
Looking at that 1979-2009 record, I keep asking myself, “What’s the Standard Deviation” of the temperature numbers?
I suspect it might be on the order of 0.2 or 0.3 C. In which case any claim of a “trend” is statistically meaningless!
Thanks, Anthony, for your help on Mac OSX. Now, is there a version of this for PalmPre? Sorry I have so many questions these days.
See: Maybe the sun really means business this time
Will this widget be made available for standard PC users (XP , XP64)?
Thanks
Great widget. Love it!
I see requests for this and that to be added, most would be interesting… but how about just a simple temperature trend line, broken into 5 or 10 year segments (in darker blue)? it would make a great visual comparison to the CO2 (@ur momisugly Mona Loa) line….
Hmmm, wish we had a global average of PPM of CO2 to show, like the global temp line… Yes, i know I’m paranoid for not trusting the measurement of a supposedly “well mixed” gas, so near AND up wind from an ACTIVE volcano.
